This is a step by step installation process for ATRS.

Before Installing...

  • Before beginning the installation, please ensure that ALL of the prerequisites listed on the ATRS Prerequisites page have been met. This ensures that ATRS runs as expected. Failure to meet the listed prerequisites may result in errors occurring.

Preparing for the Installation

These steps must be completed prior to running the ATRS installer.

After downloading and extracting the latest build/version of ATRS, perform the following steps:

User Account Control

  • If you are installing ATRS for the first time on this server, turn off the User Account Control (UAC). You can turn it back on once the installation of ATRS has completed.

Unblock the ATRS installer

  • Open the appropriate ATRS version/build folder.

This is most likely located in your Downloads folder.

  • Highlight and then right-click the ATRSSetup file.
  • Click Properties.

  • On the General tab, click Unblock in the lower right corner.

Some security features, such as Windows SmartScreen, can block certain files or flag them as potentially unwanted. If the ATRS installer is run without being unblocked, ATRS will not run properly.

  • Click Apply.
  • Click OK.

Beginning the Installation

To install the latest build/version of ATRS, perform the following steps:

  • Double-click the ATRSSetupX.
  • Click Unzip.

  • Click OK.
  • Click Next on the Welcome message.

  • Carefully read the License Agreement. 

Once you have fully read and understood the License Agreement, click the button next to I accept the terms in the license agreement. Then, click Next.

If you do not accept the terms of the license agreement, you will not be able to proceed with the installation.

  • Now, you will see the Select Destination Folder screen.  You can choose to leave the default destination folder that is currently listed or select your own. Click Next.

Leaving the default destination as the destination folder is recommended.

  • You should now see a Ready to Install window detailing the current settings for the ATRS installation. These details include the destination folder you chose previously, as well as the Disk Space Requirements for the ATRS installation.
    • Click Next.

The Disk Space Requirements will vary from build to build. This is only the amount of disk space that is required for the installation/components of ATRS.

  • Allow the ATRS installation to complete. You do not need to click anything during this process.

  • When the Setup Wizard Complete screen appears, click Finish and it will start ATRS.

  • At this time, you may see a pop-up stating that you will need to restart your computer in order to complete the ATRS installation. Click OK.

Should you not receive this message (below) you will need to manually reboot the server at this time.

  • ATRS is now successfully installed on this server.

Database Installation

The first time you open ATRS, you will need to configure the ATRS database. This is where ATRS will store the information regarding the schedules you set up within the software.
